This is a very great application. I was just looking into how to build an application like this myself when I stumbled over this.

I would like to help to develop this application further!
I.e. add it to the maemo repo and add some features.

Some parts I miss:

Select points on a (open street) map and store them in the database
set a radios for each POI (alarm occurs when you get inside this circle)
see distance to POIs

I also found some bugs:
I started "locationd" in the terminal, it seems to run fine. Then I tried to add a POI: "locationd-add Home". This gave the following error:

Code:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.OSError: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/dbus/service.py", line 702, in _message_cb
    retval = candidate_method(self, *args, **keywords)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/molly/daemon.py", line 121, in add_poi
    places_manager.add_current_location(place_name)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/molly/db.py", line 128, in add_current_location
    self._save_places()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/molly/db.py", line 72, in _save_places
    os.rename(tempfile_name, self.config_obj.get_places_filename())
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

How ever the POI showed up in the already running locationd-qt GUI!
Nevertheless, the places file in "/etc/locationd/places.csv" still does not exist. As I do not have an example I am not sure how I would have to create its content. As the GPS locations can be noted differently, there should be an example. Also I would suggest that the file gets generated at the installation time, together with an example POI.Despite of all of that, this places file should be in a user writeable location! I would suggest "/home/user/.locationd/places.csv".
